Choosing Peace Over Glamour
In a world that often hankers after the glitter of Hollywood, Daryl Hannah and Neil Young have opted for an entirely different rhythm. They've uprooted their life from Los Angeles for the tranquility of the Canadian countryside. This pair, who secretly tied the knot back in 2018, is settling into a quaint, 116-year-old cottage nestled near Neil's childhood town of Omemee, Ontario.
At a time when the pandemic upended nearly everything, Hannah and Young took it as a moment to fortify their haven, making the cozy confines of their property fit for the chilly Canadian winters. Away from the watchful eyes of the public, they’ve channeled their energy into meaningful work. For Hannah, this means a considerable pivot from the whirlwind pace of Hollywood, which had been a source of anxiety in her past.
Crafting Art in the Silence
Rarely stepping into the limelight, Hannah recently made a low-key appearance at the 2025 Oscars. She graced the stage not in Hollywood's typical glitz and glamour but in a simple, understated ensemble to honor director Sean Baker with an award. Although she’s mostly kept a low profile, her mind is anything but quiet, as she is currently working on producing a film that chronicles Young's illustrious music career.
Young himself continues to be creatively active, diving into projects that include archival music releases and a live album with Crazy Horse. For him, the move north wasn't just about seeking artistic solitude; it also stemmed from his growing political dissatisfaction with the U.S., adding yet another layer of peace by stepping away from stress-inducing media buzz and public tension.
The couple, who started their relationship in 2014, embrace a lifestyle that favors privacy over publicity, often finding solace in the isolation their remote abode provides. Here, surrounded by nature's quiet symphony, they have the freedom to pursue their passions without unnecessary interruptions.
